Events across borders test loyalty and power
In Geneva 1903 Count von Stroebel pressures John Armitage to recover a stolen packet containing Archduke Karl's sworn indictment. Armitage rejects a Vienna path, but Stroebel offers a covert commission to push Austria’s fate, hinting at a dangerous political game and possible impersonation of Frederick Augustus. The two part with unresolved danger and a wary bond.
